Good luck wih the project.

We agree with you Susie ... the room at Haworth would have just been a lovely little taster whilst we looked around and the possibility of funding.

Not easy ...can't just say... 'that building' would be great... yes, but most are privately owned,etc., and would have to be bought. Even H.B.C. owned buildings would be difficult for them to hand it over for a museum as funding would be needed ...not easy to extract from them in this period of cut backs.

Any wealthy benefactors out there ?

Thanks for your story of your great grandad. See! Amazing what people come up with.

Dang, can't make the meeting tomorrow... have another..
